Woodland Hills patients can experience our tailored chemical peels to address a wide range of skin concerns, from aging and sun damage to acne scars and uneven complexion. In the hands of our expert aestheticians, these chemical peels gently remove the outer layers of damaged skin, unveiling a smoother, more radiant complexion beneath.
Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that use a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. They are beneficial for individuals seeking treatment for various skin issues including wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone.
The procedure involves applying a chemical solution, such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or lactic acid to the skin. This solution exfoliates the skin and reveals newer, often smoother, less wrinkled and less damaged skin underneath. Chemical peels can vary in intensity – light, medium, or deep – depending on the specific concerns and desired outcomes. They are popular treatments due to their ability to deliver noticeable improvements in skin texture and appearance with minimal downtime, especially with lighter peels.
Chemical peels offer a multitude of benefits for skin rejuvenation and health. They effectively exfoliate the top layers of skin, leading to a smoother, more radiant complexion. This process helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and mild scars, giving the skin a more youthful look. Peels are also excellent for treating hyperpigmentation, including sun spots, age spots, and melasma, resulting in a more even skin tone.
For those struggling with acne, chemical peels can significantly reduce both the occurrence of breakouts and the scars they leave behind. Additionally, these treatments can enhance skin hydration, boost collagen production, and improve overall skin texture. Regular chemical peels can also aid in better absorption of skincare products by removing the barrier of dead skin cells. With these wide-ranging benefits, chemical peels are a versatile and effective tool in comprehensive skin care.

Initially, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to prepare for the chemical peel. Then, your provider will apply a carefully selected chemical solution to your face, neck, or hands. You may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation as the solution works to exfoliate the skin. The duration of the application varies based on the peel's intensity and your skin type.
After the chemical peel has worked its magic, the solution will be neutralized and removed, followed by the application of a soothing cream to calm the skin. Post-procedure, your skin may appear red or feel sensitive, similar to a sunburn. You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. This non-invasive, transformative treatment is a step towards revealing a brighter, smoother, and more youthful complexion.
The recovery and aftercare process following a chemical peel are crucial to the treatment's success and vary depending on the peel's intensity. For the Glow and Go Peel, there is no social downtime. For the Perfect Derma Peel, the expected downtime is 7-10 days with 3-4 days of moderate peeling.
Post-treatment care includes avoiding direct sun exposure and using broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the new skin. It's also essential to keep the skin clean and moisturized. Your aesthetician may recommend a specific skincare regimen to support healing and optimize results. Refraining from picking or peeling off loose skin is critical to prevent scarring and hyperpigmentation. Following these guidelines ensures a smoother recovery and maximizes the benefits of your chemical peel treatment.
The results of a chemical peel can be both immediate and progressive revealing a brighter, smoother complexion once the initial redness and peeling subside. These peels can minimize the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, and mild blemishes.
Over time, especially with a series of treatments, chemical peels can lead to visibly firmer skin, reduced pore size, and a more youthful appearance. It's important to remember that while chemical peels provide substantial improvements, they do not stop the aging process, and maintenance treatments may be necessary to preserve the benefits.
Chemical peels can be beneficial for various skin types, but their suitability largely depends on the specific skin condition and the type of peel being considered. The peels offered at Luminous Medical Aesthetics are generally safe for all skin types. They gently exfoliate and are ideal for treating minor skin issues like light acne scars or early signs of aging.
The timing of results varies depending on the type of peel and the individual's skin. With the Glow and Go peel, a brighter, smoother complexion can be noticed almost immediately. For the Perfect Derma Peel, full results are best appreciated after all peeling has subsided, typically within 7-10 days.A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
